3. Invest In Versatile Clothing
There are many versatile articles of clothing that you can wear in more ways than one and reinvent your wardrobe on a budget. Shirt dresses, solid fitted leggings, statement jackets, cosy wraps and much else can be paired in multiple ways. For a further steal, dig into the POPxo Beauty Box and you’ll find the Marks & Spencer voucher that gives you Rs 500 off on purchases above Rs 2,500 from the brand.
4. Work That Mane!
Changing your hairstyle is one of the quickest ways to completely revamp your look. Cut it or colour it, commit to big changes to your old look, but stay true to your face shape and personal style. Carob and subtle ombre tints are some of the trendy hair colours for 2018, just be prepared to maintain the colour from your end. To help you do that, use the 20% Discount Blossom Kochhar voucher from the POPxo Beauty Box on their wonderfully natural shampoos and conditioners.
5. Get Super Into Accessorising
Accessorising on a budget needs a bit of imagination and creativity. Apart from the usual shoes, bags and shawls, you need to think about new and exciting ways you can accessorise to alter your look, without spending too much on it. Head scarfs, quirky belts, dainty jewellery and other affordable means can be used for a quick and easy makeover!
6. Hit Up Your Tailor
It is absolutely magical what you tailor can do with your old threads. Gather the pieces that you don’t wear as it is anymore and head to the Masterji. Alter dresses to make them shorter, reinvent your sarees to dhoti pants or get faux lace details stitched on that plain blouse. With alterations in the hands of an expert, you are frankly spoilt for options.
7. DIY Refashioned Clothes
Refashioning new outfits from old ones is not a novel idea, what’s different is that when you are on a budget there is only so much you can spend. If you are even a little decent a sewing, get yourself a DIY kit to add small details on your outfits that will instantly give them a new aesthetic. Tasseled kurtas, fringed tops and shredded jeans are just some of the examples.
8. Get Into Layering
Whoever said you need only wear two or three item of clothing at one point in time! Longline coats, denim jackets, solid undershirts, invest in some layer-worthy clothes to create totally unique ensembles. You don’t even have to buy a bunch of new stuff because layering has no rules and any kind of outerwear can be paired with all of your existing clothes!
